What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

Another very interesting hat, unfortunately far from my size

A very high-quality Italian hat made in the golden age of Barbisio in Sagliano Micca (Biella)

The Barbisio "Verelyte" measures 56 cm or 7 in the US.

The hat is lined, and the felt is lightweight, indicating its use in spring and autumn.

What fascinates me is the shape, very similar to hats from the 1930s, the full and imposing crown, although I doubt this one is that old.

The felt color is "Muschio - Moss Green", and these are the measurements: the raw brim is 5 cm, the ribbon is 2 cm, slightly contrasting with the rich green of the felt, and the lowest point of the crown is 9 cm.

The felt is lightweight and very shapeable.
For any inquiries let me know.

One beautiful hat, Daniele.

Wegener Charcoal Grey
5 1/4 Crown as shaped
2 3/4 raw edge brim
1 3/4 grosgrain gills ribbon

Once again we go to the Stefan @steur Magical Mystery Care Box from last year… and what a fine hat we come up with this time. At 2 3/4 this one certainly is not a stingy brim. The felt is a charcoal grey that seems to color shift depending on light from grey grey to brownish grey… I think I even saw it shifting to a dark green indoors and has a very smooth hand to it. The ribbon is a slight bit lighter blueish grey finished with gills. The inscription in German on the sweatband reads “Handgefertigter Haarhutim Naturprodukt” which roughly translates to “Handcrafted hair hat made from a natural material” apparently indicating it is of fur felt. I gave this one a good brushing and some steam to reshape the brim a bit and I think it came up quite nicely. Truth be told I’ve been enjoying wearing this one most of the past week, only getting the time to take photos today. I do not know how to judge age on Wegener… but I would guess it to be fairly modern. Thanks again to Stefan for sending along this beauty.

The little Royal Stetson semi longhair rehab is approaching complete. Got the ribbon and bow fit yesterday. Just need to stitch it down. Its an super soft hat so I debating whether it might get just a bit of stiffner inside the crown to help hold the shape just a bit better. Once Ive got the handling all done Ill do some brushing to get all the hairs going the same direction. Too bad its not my hat.... I like it a lot. Still have a little sewing and finish work, but I just had to wear it this morning

I hope it looks as good on the owner as it does on you. Very sharp.

After yesterday's old Borsalino homburg, I was still in a homburg mood. Went with this one, a more modern, but still older "Continental" from Worth and Worth.

Jeff I like it, despite being "modern"
The shape is closest to the first examples of Homburg or Lobbia, as it was called in Italy.
The brims are curved at the top and trimmed with a small ribbon flap. Fantastic!
As always, Borsalino makes marketing one of its deadly weapons; see the felt composition clearly visible on the sweatband

Ill definately be throwing in my 2 cents to the owner just in case the grandkds dont want it...Id be proud to give it a good home. Ive actually heard from two people who saw her wearing the other hat I did for her ( thats an advantage of living in a small town lol)
